This year’s conference could not come at a more important time for our society. With the results of the 2008 election, there’s been a significant change in our potential to influence the public agenda. But, how do we both support and aggressively push the administration to make change happen? some say we have too many priorities—health, education, environment, immigration, economics, and more. Yet justice and equality require that we advance a difficult and broad agenda. Our work hasn’t diminished; in fact, we need to pick it up several notches to reverse the erosion of rights that has gone on for the past 30 years. There is no room for complacency.
